Are you looking for a delicious chocolate cake to make that is easy (and not low cal or low sugar)? If so, I would like to share this Hershey cake recipe with you that I made last night for friends and family that came over for dinner. I got this recipe from a friend, who got it from someone else. I have made this Hershey cake several times and decorated it in different ways. You can see how I've decorated it for my "cupcake's" birthday cakes from my cake archives: Pumpkin Cake Elmo Cake Bug Cake Gymnastics Unlimited Cake #2 So here are the ingredients for the most delicious Hershey Cake: One box of Duncan Hines Swiss Chocolate cake mix Don't follow the box recipe, instead mix the cake mix with: 3 eggs 1/3 cup oil 1 1/2 cups milk Instant vanilla or french vanilla pudding (3.4 oz box) Mix all ingredients. Spray (2) 9" round cake pans with non-stick spray. Pour mix into pans Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes When cakes cool, cut each cake in half (to make 4 cake layers) Now for the icing ingredients: Mix together: 8 oz. softened cream cheese 1 cup sugar 1 cup powdered sugar 16 oz. Cool Whip 3 Hershey bars, chopped into small pieces Then spread icing in between each layer and then ice the whole cake when the last layer is on top. Enjoy! Here is a photo of half the cake from last night to show you the layers inside: (I'm sorry it doesn't look pretty, but it tastes oh so good!) Enjoy and if you try this cake recipe leave a comment and let me know how you liked it!

Happy 6th Birthday Cupcake #2! October 2007

Dirt and bug cake with frog cupcakes. What more could a 6 yr. old boy want???? The cake is the Hershey cake recipe that I got from a dear friend. I then crumbled up chocolate cookies to make "dirt". Then stuck a bunch of Luke's plastic critters on the cake. The frog cupcakes were copied from one of the frog cupcake photos here. The eyes are cut marshmallows with green sugar crystals on the top of the eyes and the red tongue is a cut fruit roll-up. These fruit roll-ups even had pictures of bugs on them, but you can't see the bugs from this picture.
During this party, Cupcake #2 and his friends went through an obstacle course through the woods in our backyard which was a perfect activity to go along with our bug birthday theme.
